Palabras clave:

Innovación, capital humano, capacitación, redes, inversión extranjera

Resumen

A partir de una muestra de industrias manufactureras en Colombia, se analiza la relación entre el capital humano, medido a través del nivel educativo, y los resultados de innovación, capacitación, redes e inversión de capital extranjero. Se identifican tres grupos de empresas —bajo nivel educativo, técnicas y profesionales— y se encontraron diferencias significativas entre estos grupos frente a los indicadores analizados. En general, existe una baja proporción de profesionales y técnicos en las industrias manufactureras colombianas estudiadas, aunque hay más profesionales que técnicos.
